Wash wash wash is the name of the game mainly. Getting the carport and house washed down so I can repaint the roof over the carport.
But, today, took a break from that to let my back get back right.  Ha ha ha ha Ageing is hell.  So, today was take the gas tank and front fairing off the KLR to look for electrical problems. Check items I shorted out as the clutch and side stand switches. Also redid the neutral switch. All good. Did find the clutch plug in where I had shorted it out not plugged in all the way.  Did find the ignition coil to be low on ohms reading so got another coming from Ebay.
Tomorrow morning early, will check a few more things  and lube the throttle cables. May take the .032" washer off the slide needle. Though it might be a cause of studdering in the motor but was not.
So, the Bandit got the nod today for an 80 mile or so romp about the area. Really didn't decide where I was going till after I filled up on 26 here in Jtown.  So , North on 26 to 104 to Mamou and 95 and 29 to Eunice and 91, 98 and 97 back to town. No shutdowns, just chasing the front wheel.
But, tomorrow, back on the roof.
Also built a gas container I can hang above the bike and run it without the gas tank on.
